Hello

Thanks in advance,

+1 for CCI Standard Velocity 40gr

The 36gr quiet's are fun to plink all day, but not as accurate I find.

 

[Aflica]

CCI standard velocity 40gr , is a good place to start . And affordable

For minute of Gopher American Eagle Hollow Points....
CCI Stingers are a close second, but cost more hence my placing them at Second.
For fun and gopher carnage buy some CCI Quick Shok, they shoot pretty close to Stingers and they draw and quarter gophers with ease.
These are a fragmented bullet ...fyi.

Hunting, plinking, or bench shooting for accuracy?

buy one box of each 22LR you can find shoot 2-3 5 shot groups with each brand, shoot at least 10 rounds of each new brand before shooting for groups to to "condition" the bore (some would say clean between each brand but I find it takes the bore longer to set up after cleaning)
pick the one that shoots best

IMO, save yourself the trouble and go for the high end ammo: Eley, Lapua.

I am in the same boat and order a ammunition variety pack from Tesro.

Rabid asks the relevant question which is what is the purpose of the ammo. If you want accuracy from the bench, go to entry level match ammo such as SK Standard Plus. If you're shooting critters CCI will do. If you're plinking pop cans at 25 yards, any ammo will do -- even Remington.

CCI Minimag, Rem Thunderbolt, Fed Gold Match.

maybe, sometimes the cheap stuff shoots as well or better than match

Hi Guys,

Thanks for all the replies.

22lr will be used on a 25-100m range mainly shooting steel targets (plinking) and as trigger and scope training for the 17hmr.

17hmr. Will be used for gophers 25-150m.

I just got a CZ452 and tried the trial package from Tesro. It seems to like the SK and Lapua better than the Eley but the all shot well. Haven't tried the cheaper CCI or Federal stuff yet.

I have had good results with Federal Target in mine.

 

[Redblack]

Cci standard velocity

Like the idea of the trial package. I see Nordic Marksman carries a lot of good stuff as well.

Well gentleman, lots of good info. I am just waiting for my CZ455 to arrive in the mail and will be monitoring is thread. I have a wide variety of stuff on hand and will post results as I get to shoot. I my past experience with my Marlin XT-22VR I had good success with Aquila Standard, RWS Target rifle, SK Standard Plus. The rifle was originally seasoned with 200 shots of Sellier & Bellot Standard and it shots as well as the SK Standard + out of the Marlin. So for anyone that has access to Sellier & Bellot (Canadian Tire $4.99) it is good ammo.
